“I’m pregnant.” My eyes widen like saucers at the news I’ve been longing to hear. With the shooting, I wondered if it was possible. They said it didn’t damage that area, but it’s been almost a year since then, and we fuck like bunnies.
“What?” I jump off the bed, buck naked, and stare down at my sexy wife. “I can’t believe it.”
“Are you happy?” Her hazel eyes are full of concern, and I can’t believe she’s worried. I’ve been trying to knock her up since the first time.
“I’m so damn happy. Babe, thank you. I love you, Georgia.” I drop onto the mattress, pinning her down and kissing her so deeply. Once I release her sweet lips, I lower myself to her belly and kiss my unborn baby. “I love you, my little one.”
Georgia giggles so prettily. “I don’t think the baby can hear you just yet.”
“That’s good because Daddy plans to say some nasty things to Mommy.”
“I’d say that’s very good. Kiss me and love me, Stellan.”
“Forever.”

“Kids, no running.” My six- and four-year-old are playing tag around the rental office and, of course, causing mayhem. They aren’t normally this riled up, but it seems they’re on a sugar high from spending time with Nana. The older she gets, the more she laces them with sweet tea and cookies.
I feel my husband’s athletic form come up behind me. “How are you feeling, little mama?”
“Little? I’m about as big as a house, and I can’t chase these little ones anymore,” I grip. It’s getting too hot, and I’m about to pop any day now.
“They’re fine,” he insists. Stellan pulls me into his arms from behind and kisses my neck while rubbing my swollen belly.
“Hey, there's no hanky-panky in the office. Aren’t there some protocols around here?” The mayor walks into the office in a tailored suit like it isn’t a bazillion degrees out.
Stellan chuckles and says, “No, Mayor Payne, there isn’t. I’m sure you’re well aware of that. Or does your assistant usually come to work with her hair so messy?”
“It was a windy day,” he says, grinning from ear to ear. Since the Mayor married his assistant about the same time that Stellan and I married, it’s been one joke after another between the two of them. They were childhood friends, and now we get together for picnics, which I like.
“So, I’d like to rent a cabin for the weekend with the wife.” I look at the calendar. It’s Monday, so they have time, but most of my cabins are full.
“Sounds good. Which one?”
“Cabin one.” As soon as it’s out of his mouth, I know we’re going to have a problem.
Stellan shakes his head. “Yeah, that one is under permanent contract.”
“Really? To whom?” Of course, it’s the best cabin with the greatest view. Not that the other ones aren’t wonderful, but this one is extremely isolated.
“Me,” Stellan says.
“What?” We own the resort, so of course, they all belong to us, but Stellan actually signed a fifty-year contract on it before he married me.
“It’s where I trapped my wife.” He likes to say that because we’ve erased the bad memories of the stalker from our lives except for the little scars I have left. Felicity went to a mental institution, where she ended up fixating herself on an orderly there before hanging herself. It was tragic because she had so much potential.
“Don’t be mean, Stellan.”
“Very well. It’s not like we’re going up there anytime soon, but it will cost you.”
“He’s not good at bargaining, Mayor.”
“You’re supposed to be on my side, wife.”
“I am, love, but I love happy couples, and Taylor and Brooks are two of my favorite people.”
“Fine, you owe us a night of babysitting.”
“Can do. Let me know when.”
“Uh oh.” The cramps rip through my body as I fill out the information on the computer.
“Will tonight work?”
“I’ll make the call.” Six hours later, I gave birth to another baby boy.
